The defense in the I. Lewis Libby trial began today by calling one of its first witnesses, Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, to the stand. Woodward testified about a June 13, 2003 conversation he had with Richard Armitage, then Deputy Secretary of State, in which Armitage revealed to him the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame.

CNN obtained an audio recording in which Armitage is heard saying in reference to Joseph Wilson, "His wife is in the agency and is a WMD analyst. How about that shit?" The recording was played today at the Libby trial.

While on the stand, Woodward said that he never wrote about that conversation, and that he met with Libby a couple of weeks later but does not recall whether he asked Libby about Plame. Columnist Robert Novak, whose column outing Plame led to the FBI probe into who revealed Plame's identity, also pointed to Armitage as a source for the information.

A video of CNN's coverage is below, which includes the recording of Richard Armitage and Bob Woodward played today in the courtroom, followed by a transcript, with expletives included.

On CNN, Wolf Blitzer said the audio was of the "man who actually leaked information about Valerie Plame." However, it is still unknown whether or not Armitage is the original leaker. CNN also mistakenly states at various times in the report that the conversation took place in July of 2003.
